Protesters gathered in the busiest areas of the city for the second night of unrest. The demonstrations were sparked by the shooting death of 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott. Police say Scott disregarded repeated demands to drop his gun, while neighborhood residents say he was holding a book, not a weapon, as he waited for his son to get off the school bus.

Police reported one person was shot and four officers were injured during Wednesday night's demonstrations.
